About the Program: 

TH Rogers has integrated the habitats and gardens into the schools curricula. The accessible gardens are used by our culturally diverse, gifted and talented, profoundly deaf, and multiply impaired students. Our goal is to increase our students access by providing adaptive tools to our multiply impaired students, build a greenhouse to allow year-round gardening activities accessible to all, introduce healthy, ethnically diverse, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables to our students.

We want to increase our educational opportunities with hands-on activities, explore the sciences behind plant biology, irrigation, composting, erosion, weather, and nutrition. Introduce students to fruits and vegetables from around the world integrating the food with the culture in social studies. Explore mathematics through measurement of rain, sunlight, earth volumes, and plant growth rates. Teach our students to try new foods, eat a healthy diet, and promote it to their families and the community.

This program is supported by TH Rogers Parent Teacher Organization.
